Weekend Getaway

• When was the last time you took your wife on a romantic getaway? A weekend at a resort or a cabin in the mountains is something she might like to do. A day at a spa providing a chance to be pampered is usually appreciated by a woman. If she's the adventurous type, skydiving, bungee jumping, or a camping in the woods may be right up her alley.
  
  

Personalized Gift

• Get your wife something only she could appreciate. A pen with her name engraved on it might not excite her, but a photo mug could do the trick. You can choose a photo from a first date, your wedding, or a special moment in your marriage and put it on a coffee mug so she sees it every morning, if she is an avid coffee drinker. A photo book might also serve you well, which is a collection of photos printed on glossy paper and bound in a book. Choose photos of the two of you with special meaning.
  
  

Charitable Donations

• If you wife is passionate about a cause, be it breast cancer, homelessness, or saving the whales, you can donate to her favorite charity -- and not just with money, but with time. Offer to help out at fundraising events or offer to go door-to-door to solicit donations. Showing an interest in something your wife is interested in can make a great gift.
  
  

Time Together

• Give her you. With life being so hectic, it is often hard for a couple to find time to spend together. If you have kids, send them to their grandparents or a babysitter for the night. Set up a candlelight dinner -- cook dinner, too. Spend quality time with your wife. She will appreciate it.
